Assassin, was merely stuck in a position of which he didn't have any way out of. It seemed to him that Kashmir finally had lost her mind after him, seemingly, annoying her so much, as well as standing up to her. There was really no way possible for him to just push her back, and keep himself from falling off, this ledge. And, from what he was seeing in her eyes, she wasn't going to stop for nothing. Some how, some way, he had to stop her. But the question was how? How could he do such a thing, it was either be killed, or, fight back and then be killed. But hey! What were his choices?

Being pushed back far enough, Assassin kept looking over his shoulder, watching the space between him and the ledge soon short fairly quickly. His eyes darted back and forth, and he was about to panic. Apparently, Kasmir didn't like being stood up to, and it was obvious. Especially when that smiled appeared on her face, and when she dropped down into a stalking position. It made a cringe slowly crawl down his spine, right from between the shoulder blades, to the rip of his tail. Great. He stood there for a moment, helpless, and locked eyes with her. Probably not the smartest of things to do, but he did.

Finally, reaching the ledge with his back foot, it was now or never to make an attempt to attack or flee. And on his end, neither were looking so good. Quickly thinking, it was time to make a move. So, quickly turning, he jumped off the ledge with his wings fully expanded. Soon taking flight away from Kashmir, he didn't want to make her dinner so easy to come by. She looked a tad hungry. So if she were going to kill him and make him dinner, he had to make it near impossible to catch him first.

And so the game began again. Kashmir's smile disappeared as a new mindset took over. This was no longer her trying to scare the crap outta him, this was her going into kill mode. She had killed her mountain goat brother before Assasin had arrived...was the panda the next victim? Her insanity was caused by one factor and one factor alone; she hadn't infected anyone in a long time. Did this mean she wanted to infect the panda? Goodness no...a queen would never affect an assistant, since that assistant was born a Cerave. So why had Kashmir decided to test him?

These thoughts filled her mind as she inched foward. It was hard to stalk someone that knew you were coming. Either way, Kashie could smell the stench of fear, see in his eyes how much he regretted standing up to her. Kashie didn't really care if he stood up to her. In fact, he was the first assistant to repeatedly stand up to her. From the very beginning Kashmir had loved the panda as a friend. Was she really so vicious and senile? Nobody really knew the real Kashmir. It would take an infection or someone special to ease her back into sanity.

Just like JJ, just as predictable, Assasin jumped off the ledge in an attempt to save himself. He had changed forms and within seconds, Kashmir changed into her wolf form. Now fairly even, she flew quickly after him. In his panda form she would have caught him, Assasin on wings was just a wee bit faster. Her red skinned, white boned wings shifted their position to gain more speed. With the extra boost, Kashmir was able to touch his leg with an interestingly soft paw. No teeth were ready to stick themselves into prey. The predatory gaze was lost. Was the insane killer...actually trying to play with the Assasin?

A different smile came to her face. This one made her beautiful and less demonic. As wolves they were friends and as Cerave, they were slightly unequal in rank. It was their animal form that they became enemies and Kashmir turned to her predator instincts. It had been awhile since Kashmir had wanted to play with anybody. Even longer since she had "fallen in love" with a brown bear. Even still, to prove that to Assasin she'd have to catch him first. So, she decided to stop in midair and yell at the frightened Cerave, to be heard. Chase me! Or are you too much of a coward?
